mirrors what do you need those for

So I can see how far you are behind on the bends

When and where tom?

I've got a few hours spare in the afternoon, about 1ish would be good but i can twist her arm

Wanna get a last ride in before the winters well and truely here

Eh up Ash. Prob leave Tamar Bridge car par about 1 ish. Got something to do tomorrow morning but 1 is looking favourite at the minute. Decide the route etc when we get there depending on weather/ sun in the eyes etc. Forcast looks good though so I would be hoping to waste a tank of fuel. Apologies to any tree huggers!

I'll be there, i'm easy on route so you decide

Ok D'D' 100 we'll look mout for you on the approach to the tivi roundabout and as we start up th Bolham road.. Big yellow GS with a couple of bikes in tow aught to be easy enough to spot...

Phizz.

Whys that? Is Jay gonna park his bike in a hedge too?......lol

We had to go by car but....

We saw someone in the laybye at Tiverton. Guess it was DD100, didn't catch the name.

Did the others make this run. It was lovely up in Lynmouth.

Yep was DD100 waiting for us..

Had a hardy group of 4 in the end

DD100
Jenks
Phizz and Mountain300 from V'D'.

Did the whole route as posted with a great meal in Lynmouth.

Weather was anything from thick fog to dazzlin' sun. Tarmac was mainly cold and slippy, strewn with trouble in several forms..
BUT.. the roads were just great great great..

Jenks phizz and mountain home safe.. waiting for DD100 to post.

I'll set it up again next year....... "The centrally heated softies tour"

If it a bit warmer we'll drag a few more SWBikers out of their cobwebs!!

great ride, shame on the rest of you for missing it!!!!

Get your heated grips on and get out next time! ;)


Good to me mick, dd100 and phizz - was a good pace and well planned, happy to do it again!

** ME = meet, wtf is wrong with my fingertips - cant type, must be frost bite lol

Don't be scared of the evil gritter lorries [YOU] , they won't bite (much)

Just when you though it couldn't get much slippier.. some bloke in a big truck throws gravel all over the place....
